Price inflation at every fast food restaurant in the US has far exceeded CPI inflation since 2014.
Prices at McDonalds have DOUBLED since 2014 while official inflation data shows just 31% inflation.
Prices at Popeyes, Taco Bell, and Chipotle have risen by 86%, 81%, and 75%, respectively.
Traditionally, fast food was considered to be a “cheap” food option.
Now, feeding a family for one meal at a fast food restaurant costs more than $50 in many cases.
Fast food is officially expensive.

Or alternatively — real food inflation is running at 100% (over the same period) and the 31% gov’t statistic is bullshit!!!!
Totally agree! I’m personally boycotting fast food.
I’d rather get a better ambiance and better food at a casual dining restaurant.
This article below was a very true observation from MSM, nonetheless!
